Customer Reviews

Very pleased with Cybertablet Z12
This is my first graphics tablet. Being a mechanical engineer that started out on a drafting board, I come from a different mind set than a graphics artist. I spent over a week researching every manufacturer of graphics tablets I could find, reading the reviews, etc. The overwhelming number of reviews were of Wacom tablets. Frankly, I almost went with a Wacom Bamboo but, the price just seemed way out of proportion for the features. But, it seemed like everyone kept chanting the Wacom mantra.

One thing that should be stressed is software. There are basically two kinds, Pixel Image Editors and Vector Illustration Software. Editors are like Photoshop, PhotoImpact, etc. and vector based are like Adobe Illustrator ($$$), CorelDraw ($$), or InkScape(free). Image editors have lots different brush types (pen, crayon, airbrush, etc.) that produce a more painted, artistic image. Vector software is really more for those who are more serious about making images as accurate and realistic as possible.

The Cybertablet z12 came with Ulead's PhotoImpact 12se and I downloaded Adobe Photoshop Elements (trial version). Personally, the PhotoImpact software is easier to use.

The cheapest Wacom that had the same size table, Intuos3 6x11 goes for $330. That's nearly 3 times the cost of a Adesso. Is the quality there, maybe not, but at this point, I can't tell.

Long story short, give the Cybertablet a shot. :)

Art
We bought this for our 11 year old daughter who really enjoys drawing. She is quite talented at drawing herself, and likes to trace pictures too. Once set up, she really enjoyed using this. I realize she will not use all the features yet, but I hope this product will last her for many many years. It has many features and is easy to use.

Does exactly what it says it does.
This tablet as described by others before me performs as it should. the control and pressure levels have worked wonderfully and I have no complaints about its functionality. There is however a point that I cant seem to get around. The macros that come programed into it already don't seem to be changeable. while they are fine the way they are I suppose, the symbols on the top don't match up to what they actually do, a minor inconvenience I suppose but one none the less.
